A natural based hand lotion that is free of parabens and phenoxyethanol. This is a moisturizing lotion that is not greasy and also contains antioxidant polyphenols from grapes. Contains glycerin, shea butter and grapeseed oil. What I really like about this hand cream is that it absorbs into the skin and is not greasy. Even my DH will use this product. The fragrance however, is over the top. It smells to me like a cat whizzed on a sour lemon. The scent is strong but does fade after awhile.

The cream works really well for moisturizing and softening the dry skin and nails. It absorbs completely in less than 2 minutes. It leaves the skin super soft and smooth. The only thing I can't get over is the smell. It is very powerful, a bit unpleasant for my taste (like old fashioned grandma perfume), and it linger on for a LONG time. I wound go for First Aid Beauty creams over this one any day!

Update: In the hour since I applied the cream, I have washed my hands twice - the moisture is still there, but so is the smell.

I had high hopes about the Caudalie hand cream but honestly didn't do nothing for my hands apart scenting them - and they are not even particularly dry to begin with.

Packaging: Classic flip top tube, it's easy to squeeze even the last drop. 75ml

Texture: Medium thickness, definitely not runny, absorbs on the spot with no residue left behind.

Scent: Smells like orange flavoured candy, I enjoy it alot but doesn't linger long. It's the same scent as in Polyphenol C15 SPF20 Anti-Wrinkle Protect Fluid which I found a bit much for face care but just right for a hand cream.

Price: Can be found for a bit less than 10 euros in online EU pharmacies.

This is the best cream I have tried so far. Excellent. Fells great going on, smells lovely and, most importantly, it truly absorbs into the skin instead of coating it like many. Tried it in the Winter, putting some before going to sleep and in the morning my very dry hands were still soft. I just wish it was cheaper as it is quite deer for a hand cream. However, I must add that Caudalie is in fact very affordable considering the quality of the products :).
